So I keep seeing these auctions popping up on ebay;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-English-BUBBLE-BOBBLE-2-Famicom-w-adapter-for-NES-Label-/190918574218?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c73a2408a
Does anyone else think that it's pretty unethical to sell what's pretty much considered a DIY bootleg of a rare game?
I would hate to be the person down the line who spends hundreds on this, then takes it apart, and sees a converter inside. This auction just condones that deception. Makes me mad.
:mario: I blame the people that buy, without them it couldn't happen. It's poor practice, but I have other things to worry about, so this doesn't wind me up as a result.
I think the guy's being pretty up-front about what he's selling. His price is a bit absurd, but it's clearly a pirated FC cart (glob-top) with a shell and cart adapter for the NES. Anyone willing to spend a bunch on it would probably have the knowledge to know that's what they're buying. If not, asà es la vida...
I personally wish the custom label looked less like an original one, but at least the word "reproduction" is clearly printed on it. I don't think this job is worth nearly that much money, but we'll see if it sells.
If anything it's a shame that the seller had to take apart so many Famicom adapter games for things like this. He has another auction selling the pcbs from them.
